Tina Fey Welcomes You Back To Glorious Scripted Television

@MOONYAP: Based on that recommendation, I'll give 30 Rock a look; and I've always thought Alec Baldwin was good in a comic roles. Thanks in advance, I'll probably like the show.

@Fishman: Well, you should watch it. Its a very good show, especially for a primetime network comedy. SNL has always been too formulaic/heavily influenced by the guest-star for me, except for the commercials, which are supposed to rely on the parody format. I reccomend 30 Rock to anybody who likes to laugh, regardless of how much you resent Tina. Her character is humiliated almost every episode, so you can enjoy her pain! Alec Baldwin is simply boffo!

@MOONYAP: WINNIEMC called her a genius, and I just don't see it. When she was named head writer at SNL there was a lot of fanfare, first female head writer at SNL, and you could pretty much watch the show decline from that point forward. The writing was lame, Ferrell and Kattan left, it just started sucking wind.

As for 30 Rock, I've never seen it, I just can't bring myself to watch that show after she ruined SNL.

@Fishman: Nobody said genius, but c'mon. Head writer @ snl, then creating a hilarious hit show about being the head writer? Thats pretty badass for a female comedy nerdlinger.

@MOONYAP: @winniemc: @richardmarxhatesmyhair: Tina Fey, a genius? I have a hard time seeing that, I can't objectively describe her as any better than moderately funny. After she became head writer at SNL, most of the best on screen talent left, and I'm not sure about off screen, but I assume there was a lot of turnover with the writers as well.

The quality of the show seriously declined under her watch, you can argue otherwise if you personally think she is funny, but the viewers stayed away. Having her and Amy Poehler cackle like drunken sorority girls during Weekend Update is only funny to drunken sorority girls.

Yeah, what's in your craw, Fishman? Tina Fey is a genius, genius, super fucking genius, and although I don't think everyone in the world deserves their own Tiny Fey©, I sure do wish I had one in my pocket, telling me when to keep my funny jokes to myself, thus keeping my job.

People are excited Tina Fey is coming back? She sucked the life out of SNL and ruined the formerly best show on television. I've been praying for her death the last 10 years, YET SHE LIVES!

Why am I not surprised?
